Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment in which a trained skin specialist uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape away the uppermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”) from your face. Unlike regular shaving, this technique also provides deep physical exfoliation, accelerating cell turnover and allowing skincare products to penetrate far more effectively. The result is instantly smoother, more radiant skin — with zero chemicals and zero downtime.
Key benefits
Instant glow
Removes dull, dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, luminous complexion immediately after the session.
Better product absorption
With peach fuzz and dead cells removed, serums and moisturisers penetrate up to 50% deeper into the skin.
Smoother texture
Softens rough patches, minimises the appearance of fine lines, and evens out overall skin tone and texture.
Flawless makeup base
Foundation glides on seamlessly with no peach fuzz to trap product or cause patchy, uneven application.
Reduces acne scars
Gradually minimises the look of superficial acne scarring and hyperpigmentation through consistent treatments.
Safe for sensitive skin
No harsh chemicals or abrasives — ideal for those who can't tolerate chemical peels or microdermabrasion.
Step-by-step Procedure
Consultation & skin analysis
Your specialist reviews your skin type, concerns, and medical history to confirm suitability for the treatment.
Deep cleanse
The face is thoroughly cleaned to remove all makeup, oil, and impurities, ensuring a sterile surface for the procedure.
Dermaplaning
Using a sterile surgical-grade scalpel held at a 45° angle, the specialist gently feathers strokes across the skin to remove dead cells and peach fuzz. The process is painless — you may feel a light tingling sensation.
Soothing & hydration
Calming serums, hyaluronic acid, and moisturisers are applied to nourish the freshly revealed skin layer.
Sun protection
The session ends with a generous application of broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen to protect your newly sensitive skin.
Side Effects
Temporary redness
Usually fades within 1–2 hours of the treatment.
Mild dryness
Skin may feel tight for a few days; resolved with good hydration.
Sun sensitivity
Freshly exfoliated skin is more vulnerable to UV — always use SPF.
Breakout / purging
Minor breakouts may appear as trapped debris is cleared; short-lived.
Whiteheads
Occasional whiteheads a few days post-treatment; resolve quickly.
Superficial abrasions
Rare, minor marks if skin was not suitably prepped. Always consult your specialist.
